However, a text message from fellow Bathurst native Blake Dean would see Broes make a move to the nation's capital, to link up with Dean at Western District.

And now the 19-year-old has spent the past five days representing the ACT Comets in a six-match series against NSW Country this week, following a pathway similar to that of the now 100-Test-capped Nathan Lyon.

"Most people from the country always push towards 'you have to go to Sydney to succeed'. But Blake [Dean] shot me a message two-and-a-half years ago to come down and play in the Konica Cup," Broes said.

"I played that T20 series, enjoyed it and things sort of opened up from there ... there's plenty of opportunities here."

The Comets lost the six-match series 4-2, however, Broes said the past week working under coach Kyle Piper was extremely beneficial.

Broes scored 60 and 47 throughout the week.

"I would have liked to have gone on with the start I got on the first day. But yeah, happy with how I performed yesterday in the T20," Broes said.

"My game has developed this week, I think it has been very beneficial for me this high level of cricket. He [Piper] is probably one of the best coaches I have ever had. Just the way he thinks about the game and his knowledge of the game is first class and honestly I think my cricket would not be where it is without his guidance over the years."

The Comets had an opportunity to level the series, having bowled out NSW for 194 in Friday's 50-over fixture.

But with Broes being runout for 47, followed by skipper Rhys Healy being given out LBW for 50, the Comets fell for 172.

"It's pretty disappointing [to get out] at a crucial stage in the game ... when we were looking in the last 10 overs to get ahead in the game," Healy said.

"To lose the two blokes that were in and make it a lot harder for us from then on is disappointing. Also definitely disappointed to make another start and not go on with it. It's still a start in the scheme of things but my role is probably to be there at the end."

Healy was dissatisfied with only the two wins for series but said the experience for the squad is crucial given the Comets looked like being without a game at one stage this season.

"If you look at the two one-dayers, we had pretty good control over them, should have won both and then they beat us comfortably in one of the T20s," he said.

"I am not looking at the 2-4 taking much out of it at all. I think it is probably just the learnings [from the experience] that we can take out of it."
